Used - good condition. Some wear on the outer cover, and some light natural yellowing on some pages. However, the text and images are legible. A portfolio of prints of letters and sketches by the explorer James Augustus Grant. 'In 1979 the National Library of Scotland secured for the nation the papers of Nairnshire-born James Augustus Grant (1827-1892), companion of John Hanning Speke on the journey from 1860 to 1863 which finally located the source of the Nile in Lake Victoria. The selected illustrations in James Augustus Grant 1860-1863 are reproduced in facsimile from Grant's two-volume sketch-book Nile Sketches, which provides an unrivalled picture of East Africa in the 1860s. I have particularly to thank Dr R.C. Bridges, Department of History, University of Aberdeen, who wrote the introduction; and Mr Ian C. Cunningham, Assistant Keeper in the Department of Manuscripts, and Dr Ann Matheson, Publications Officer, who devised the publication.'
